I was frantically trying to locate a new helmet for a trip I'm taking this weekend, and as usual, Yamaha Jack's was no help. I figured I'd swing by Jeff's Performance and see if they had any streetbike helmets (long shot). Anyway, turns out this guy named Matt bought Jeff's KTM and other lines, and moved the shop over off Hibb's road, just east of the 97 interchange next to that trailer sales place. He ordered a helmet for me, and today I spent some time talking to him when I picked it up. Jeff is still there, but he's in the back turning wrenches full time now, and Matt is running the show. While the majority of their inventory is dirt focused, he's really excited about expanding into the street bike world. I talked to him for about an hour, and he's really eager to hear from the streetbike community in the valley. I told him I'd post here and encourage some of the riders in town to stop by and tell him what gear, tires, parts, etc they like, and he'll be happy to stock them.

I'm pretty stoked that it sounds like we'll finally have a decent dealer in Ellensburg.

Dunno, Dont care about Jacks. The new place is nice and the people I met are nice too. Cant wait till its up to speed and has a street line in.
